PHOENIX — Arizona-raised violinist Lindsey Stirling claimed her second Billboard Music Awards honor for the best dance/electronic album.

Stirling’s latest album, “Brave Enough” came out ahead of “Cloud Nine” by “Kygo,” “Skin” by “Flume,” and two albums by “The Chainsmokers.” She was also nominated for best dance/electronic artist, an award that was given to “The Chainsmokers.”

“Brave Enough” debuted atop the Billboard dance/electronic album chart and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.

After learning of her victory on Sunday, Stirling released a humorous “thank you” video.
